HoxHunt has proven to be a valuable tool in maintaining knowledge about common threats used by hackers to obtain sensitive information or access devices. Users have found the tool helpful in identifying potential weak links in cybersecurity through email testing. The software offers a variety of exercises, such as phishing and spam email simulations, which motivate users with monthly goals and badges. By competing with others in the organization and tracking their progress with milestones, employees are encouraged to improve their cybersecurity skills. HoxHunt's frequent email tests simulate various hacking attacks while providing tips to identify and prevent future attacks, making it an entertaining form of training that increases security in email networks.

One of the key use cases for HoxHunt is training employees to recognize and report phishing attempts. By using the software, organizations have successfully reduced the chances of falling victim to malicious emails. The gamified learning process offered by HoxHunt, including features like a dashboard, achievements, and rankings, has been effective in motivating users to actively participate and improve their cybersecurity awareness. With its comprehensive coverage of different online threats such as phishing and spamming, HoxHunt helps users avoid falling for these tactics by analyzing sender information, links, and misspellings. Additionally, HoxHunt is widely used for company-wide training to mitigate malware, phishing, and other cyber attacks commonly propagated through targeted emails.

Engaging and Informative Platform: Many users have found Hoxhunt's platform to be engaging and informative. They appreciate how it presents trending security tips with graphic and friendly examples, enhancing their understanding of potential threats.

Gamification Aspect: Several reviewers mention that they enjoy the gamification aspect of Hoxhunt's platform. It makes participation fun and develops personal competitiveness through goals and achievements, motivating users to actively engage in improving their cybersecurity skills.

Clear and Intuitive User Interface: Users consistently praise Hoxhunt for its clear, intuitive, and easy-to-use user interface. They find it unobtrusive on the desktop, allowing them to seamlessly navigate the platform without any frustration or confusion.

Cons:

  1. Lack of Feedback on Missed Opportunities: Some users have expressed a desire for more feedback on why they missed opportunities and what they missed, particularly when it comes to emails that may have gone to spam. They feel that having this information would help them improve their email security skills.
  2. Unclear Points or Stars System: Several reviewers have mentioned that the points or stars system used in the training sessions is unclear at times, making it easy to miss important emails or ignore them. They suggest that a clearer explanation of how the scoring works would be beneficial.
  3. Limited Real-Life Examples in Training: Users have suggested including more realistic examples of different types of phishing attempts in the training sessions, such as job offer scams, charity scams, and coronavirus scams. They believe that exposing employees to a wider range of real-world scenarios would enhance their ability to identify and respond to potential threats.

Users appreciate how Hoxhunt helps them understand the dangers of malicious emails and safeguard sensitive information.

Hoxhunt allows the user to be the primary threat detector by teaching the user how to identify threats. Symantec's service only addresses its databases and not end-user training.

It was very different and more of a hands off type of security approach. I didn't use it all that much but when I did it was not really similar at all. I didn't have the experience in terms of checking for test emails that would come through or the gamification that Hoxhunt has.

Sonar is different, it is not comparable with Hoxhunt, but what I can say is that Hoxhunt is a great investment for knowledge about phishing, organizations should invest in this knowledge so that more and more employees can be prepared and avoid data leakage. There is no way to protect data without the knowledge of everyone who could somehow put it at risk.

I don't recall the previous solution we evaluated but I can easily say that Hoxhunt is the superior offering because of the educational component after each training attempt. The gamification is a little bit better based on design but the adaptive attempts based on user proficiency are really what sets Hoxhunt apart.

I haven't used any other training or evaluation given this is not an essential part of my job. Usually, and on my personal email where I don't have any special software, my approach is to delete the message or report it as spam/unsubscribe. However, I am unsure of how that impacts the possibility of reducing phishing or spam emails.
